July 31st is National Or**sm Day! (US, UK, AU)

Those fun, beautiful moments may not happen for everyone. Anor**smia is a term used to describe a lack of or**sm during s*xual activity. Once thought to be a psychological issue, today we know there are different reasons such as trauma, medications, surgeries, lifestyle, etc.
